Obesity is a major cause of diabetes and heart disease. What you eat and when you eat can have a major impact on the development of many chronic diseases. Lifestyle habits and lack of exercise also contribute to this. But recent research suggests that protein, especially whey protein, can increase the risk of diabetes and heart-related diseases by increasing obesity. Research has shown how taking these proteins at night can have a major impact on blood sugar and can affect individuals suffering from diabetes. These proteins also influence the arteries, which is not good for heart health.
According to this recent study from the University of Basel in Switzerland, consuming protein at night increases blood sugar levels in the morning, causing health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. The Physiological Society’s Virtual Early Career Conference, also known as Future Physiology 2020, presents this study. Previous research conducted in healthy people has shown that having a snack a few hours before meals can help control blood sugar levels. But every meal done as the day progresses increases the level of blood sugar.
Besides, this study also investigated whether some protein intake at night can reduce blood sugar the next morning. The blood sugar response to breakfast was higher when participants consumed protein instead of plain water at 4 am. For the study, the research team studied 15 healthy youthful men and women. During the study participants woken at 4 am or evening to drink 300 ml of drink with 63 grams of whey protein. They then went back to sleep, and they provided a standard quantity of oatmeal for breakfast at 9 am, along with blood samples taken in which their blood sugar was higher than normal.
We know whey protein as ‘complete protein’ of prime quality made from milk and products made from it. It contains all the amino acids, Branched Amino, Acid, Glutamine, Lusin, etc. according to the body. According to the study, the body does not expect too much food during the night, and hence later this food change to sugar. Here, taking protein at night keeps it stored till morning and after breakfast, it increases the blood sugar.

Taking obesity protein during the night also increases this obesity, which may increase your risk of heart disease later. According to the researchers in this study, future research will focus on whether this theory applies to older and overweight people who have more problems controlling their blood sugar. It will also interest to know that at what time we should take protein and what effect it will have on our body.
